Definitions
- Light-weight containers for holding, transporting and dispensing light-weight tissues and other wipes which provide for dispensing unused tissues from one compartment and receiving used tissues into the second compartment.
- This invention provides devices for keeping a tissue dispenser with such people as they move from place to place that eliminates the need for searching for a separate waste disposal container by providing an integrated waste disposal compartment.
- Container for holding, transporting and dispensing tissue, wet wipes, makeup remover towelettes and the like, having at least two compartments for dispensing unused tissues from one compartment and receiving used tissues into the second compartment.
- the second compartment is designed to receive and secure bio-waste.
- FIG. 1 includes perspective views of the invention showing a plurality of compartments together with perspective views of the invention as whole.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the operation of the invention as tissues are removed from one compartment for use and disposed in the second compartment after use.
- FIG. 3 is the invention of FIG. 1 where the second compartment is a cut-away side view of the lower compartment and is configured for containing the hazards arising from use with bio-waste.
- FIG. 4 includes a top view, a cut-away side view, and a bottom view of one embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 1 one embodiment of invention 100 is shown utilizing a standard tissue box.
- the view at 101 illustrates distribution and storage of fresh tissues at top compartment 101 a , and no used tissues in the bottom compartment 101 b .
- View 102 a shows about half of the unused tissues have been dispensed.
- Compartment 102 b has received used tissues (not shown) via opening 102 c at the bottom or side thereof.
- bottom compartment 103 b has received used tissues (not shown) via side opening 103 c .
- the volume of used tissues increases as they are used and stored in the bottom compartment of invention 100 , it tends to force the used tissue compartment toward the top of the top compartment of the invention.
- a second embodiment of the present invention utilizes a cube-shaped tissue box in like manner as described in view 101 .
- top compartment 201 a stores layers of fresh tissues as shown.
- the tissues are loaded into the top compartment and accessed by a user for use via standard tissue box access port 201 b . See also view 204 .
- Used tissues are stored in bottom compartment 203 via access port 203 d located in the bottom of compartment 203 . Again, as the volume of used tissues increases and stored in bottom compartment 203 , it tends to force the unused tissues to the top of the box.
- a slitted 2 mil polyethylene material is included in both of bottom compartments 204 at 204 a to retain used tissues in bottom compartment 204 .
- a standard size tissue box having a resealable bio-waste Zip-lockTM bag 302 b is shown at the lower front side of box 303 and a standard tissue opening 301 a is located at the top 301 of box 303 .
- the bottom of box 303 is disposed at the opposite side of standard tissue opening 301 a .
- box 303 receives and contains tissues used in connection with bio-waste material in a second compartment 303 a .
- Bio-waste cavity (second compartment) 303 a is accessed at 302 d as shown also at 303 b .
- the length of the second compartment 303 a is substantially longer than the width of the second compartment 303 a .
- a side cut-away view of the second compartment 302 shows a 1 mil polyethylene bag 302 b .
- Rectangular cardboard separator 302 c separates the stored unused top tissues 302 a from the used tissues stored in the bottom of the bottom compartment 303 a . It also provides for an even-upward pressure on the unused tissues.
- the bottom of polyethylene bag, having first zipper 303 e is sealed/glued to bottom of box 303 , and includes pull tab 303 f for easy access.
- Zipper 303 e may be folded so that it does not protrude beyond the outline configuration of box 303 .
- Zipper 303 e is also configured to span substantially the entire length of the second compartment 303 a.
- tissue box 303 that includes a standard tissue box opening 401 disposed at the top of box 303 for access to tissue 302 a stored in a first compartment 411 .
- tissue 302 a e.g., unused tissues
- tissue box 303 includes a rigid housing 410 comprising a plurality of rigid faces, including at least a rectangular top face 412 having a length and a width, a rectangular bottom face 405 , and a plurality of parallel vertical faces 418 , each coupling the top face 412 to the bottom face 405 .
- the bottom face 405 is at least substantially flat.
- the top face 412 comprises a first portion 413 including the standard tissue box opening 401 .
- the first compartment 411 is within the rigid housing 410 and is formed at least in part by the first portion 413 of the top face 412 including the tissue box opening 401 .
- the tissue box opening 401 comprises an ellipsis having a major axis oriented at least substantially parallel to the length of the top face.
- tissue box opening 401 may be parallel to the length of the top face.
- Top face 412 further comprises a second portion 415 including a bio-waste opening 416 providing accessibility to a second compartment (“bio-waste cavity”) 402 .
- the second compartment is formed at least in part by the second portion 415 of top face 412 including the bio-waste opening 416 , and includes a bottom formed at least in part by the bottom face 405 .
- a user may place used tissue (e.g., after a user has sneezed into one of tissues 302 a ) through bio-waste opening 416 into bio-waste cavity 402 .
- the bottom face 405 of box 303 is disposed at the opposite side of top face 412 and tissue box opening 401 .
- the bio-waste opening 416 may be rectangular.
- the bio-waste opening 416 may be oriented perpendicular to the standard tissue box opening 401 .
- bio-waste opening 416 may be oriented perpendicular to the major axis of standard tissue box opening 401 .
- the standard tissue box opening 401 and first compartment 411 are disposed next to or adjacent to the bio-waste cavity 402 accessible through bio-waste opening 416 .
- the bio-waste cavity 402 (second compartment) includes a polyethylene bag 403 b , having a zipper 403 e for receiving used tissue.
- the zipper 403 e when the zipper 403 e is unzipped, the polyethylene bag 403 b and zipper 403 e fill or open into at least substantially all of the bio-waste opening 416 .
- a user must unzip zipper 403 e to place used tissue in polyethylene bag 403 b , and will not accidentally place used tissue in bio-waste cavity 402 .
- the zipper 403 e of polyethylene bag 403 b is oriented at least substantially parallel to a length of bio-waste opening 416 , and is at least substantially perpendicular to the major axis of standard tissue box opening 401 so that when zipper 403 e is unzipped, used tissue products placed through bio-waste opening 416 will pass into polyethylene bag 403 b .
- the shape of the bio-waste cavity is rectangular to avoid confusion with the elliptical shape of the standard tissue box opening 401 .
- zipper 403 e spans substantially the entire length of bio-waste opening 416 .
- a rectangular cardboard separator 404 separates the stored unused tissue 302 a from the used tissue stored in the polyethylene bag 403 b .
- the top of the polyethylene bag 303 e is sealed/glued 403 g to the top of box 303 .
- polythethylene bag 403 b includes a surface edge which includes zipper 403 e , and the surface edge is at least substantially flush with the bio-waste opening 416 when unzipped.
